Landing essentials
Whether you can land, whether you can refuel, and how customs works here.
Overview
Presidio Lely International (KPRS) sits on the Texas side of the border near Presidio, at 2,938 feet elevation, and reports customs and USDA compliance agreement services on a limited attendance schedule rather than continuous coverage. Business aviation activity is modest by FAA TFMSC count, most of it moving through a single asphalt runway, and the field serves as a gateway point for operators working the ranch and border country between the Big Bend region and the Chihuahuan Desert. Traffic is monitored here as cross-border activity rather than as a total measure of everything that touches the runway.

Frequently asked questions
What customs services are available at KPRS?
Presidio Lely International (KPRS) offers CBP inspection services onsite along with a USDA compliance agreement, supporting international arrivals without a diversion to another port of entry. These services operate within the field's posted attendance schedule of Monday through Friday, 0800 to 1600 local, rather than around the clock. Operators should plan arrivals to fall within that window.
Is fuel available at Presidio Lely International outside staffed hours?
Presidio Lely International (KPRS) stocks both 100LL and Jet-A, and a self-serve option is available on a 24-hour basis according to airport remarks. This means fuel access is not limited to the Monday through Friday attended schedule that governs customs and other field services. Operators arriving after hours can still plan on fuel availability through the self-serve facility.
How long is the runway at KPRS and what is its surface?
KPRS has a single runway, 17/35, measuring 5,200 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is also the airport's maximum paved runway length, meaning no other paved surface option exists at the field. The runway layout supports the modest business aviation volume the field currently sees, per FAA TFMSC traffic data.
What should pilots know about the approach lighting at Presidio Lely International?
Presidio Lely International (KPRS) has a PVASI visual approach slope indicator that is unusable beyond 7 degrees left and right of the final course, so pilots should stay within that lateral tolerance for reliable glide path guidance. Runway edge lights on 17/35 are preset to low intensity, and pilots can increase intensity through CTAF activation. Coordination for clearance delivery is handled through Albuquerque ARTCC.
